Pressure vessel for human occupancy
Since 1977, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers PVHO committee has published standards governing the construction of a number of devices which are defined as Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy. The current standard is PVHO-1-2007.[1]
List of PVHO types
- decompression chambers
- diving bells
- high altitude chambers
- hyperbaric chambers
- hyperbaric stretchers
- medical hyperbaric oxygenation facilities
- personnel transfer capsules
- recompression chambers
- submarines
Nuclear reactor containments, aerospace cabins, caissons or mild hyperbaric chambers are not considered to be PVHOs according to the standard.
